A Thank You Note from Karen

Dear Krom,
You have a great sense of style and I really appreciate you helping me with mine. I got more compliments on the earrings you picked for me than I've gotten on any other item I've ever worn. The bracelet is so classic and fun that I've been wearing it every day as my new eternity bracelet. And I love the earrings for Madeleine.
Thank you so much for finding the perfect jewelry for our once-in-a-lifetime event.

An Inquiry from Kirsten

The event next week is at a swanky steakhouse.
Here is my idea:
I have a fabulous pair of tuxedo pants...paillettes down the side of
the leg, very wide bell bottom, straight men's tailoring...
Thinking of wearing those with a tuxedo shirt, necktie and vest or
smallish fitted jacket- have a great pair of simple suede platform
booties.
Shirt has to be very fitted and would be longer than the jacket...u
ok with that?
Get the picture? I would call it "hangin' in the boys' club".
Don't have the tuxedo shirt part, or the vest,
do have a nice little black satin jacket that could work...
Any ideas kromstyle?
xxxooo K.
Krom's solution:
I would concentrate on the shirt and skip the vest. If your jacket is fitted the vest could create too much bulk. I have no problem with a shirt longer than the jacket. You will have to try a few different silhouettes on to see which solution will work best. The options are shown from most expensive to least.

SJP: Trash or Treasure?
Photos courtesy of instyle.com
Sarah Jessica Parker has an amazing figure; she can pretty much wear anything she wants. However, the trashy 80's look just doesn't do her justice. Maybe the Balmain dress would look much better if she wasn't wearing black tights.
She looks sensational in the nude dress, and is perfectly accessorized. The dramatic cuffs and the metallic handbag give this look a bit of an edge. For a less ladylike look, the dress could be shorter, but is fine as it is. This complete look would be perfect for Michelle Obama.

Mission: Find the Right Accessories
A green gown and beautiful golden Manolo Blahniks were purchased for a very special occasion.
Next, we headed to Saks to find a bracelet. This took much less time as the earrings were a huge factor in this decision. My client wanted to go with a gold bangle; however, I felt it was just too generic looking. If you're going to spend a considerable amount of money on jewelry, it should be special and distinctive. I selected three gold link bracelets for her, and she finally chose a Temple St. Clair bracelet that can become a charm bracelet, an excellent choice for someone who is just beginning to collect jewelry that she can pass on to her daughter.
Mission: Accomplished

Back of the Gown
We met at Neiman Marcus to begin our search. Because the neckline of the gown is so high, I knew the earrings would be our starting point. They needed to be dramatic, whether it be the size or color of the earring, I was not sure. I would have liked to go with more color, but we did not find a suitable pair. My client picked out about a half dozen pairs that she liked and I added another three or four. The pair she ultimately selected was a pair I selected for her that she did not even want to try on because she felt they were too crazy. Anytime I see something that I think would look great on someone that they initially don't like, I encourage them to try it on because most of the time they can see how great it looks on them even though they would have never previously considered the item. The Ippolita earrings are large gold hoops with clear quartz stones.
